The Division of Government Research (DGR) has previously assisted the New Mexico Health Policy Commission (NM HPC) in performing data integration/analysis and GIS work using New Mexico health care information from various NM HPC and other sources. There has not been any recent work conducted by DGR for the NM HPC. Please contact the NM HPC for health care related information.

There has been interest expressed by other healthcare researchers in the gravity model technique developed by DGR, UNM for measuring geographic access to health care providers and facilities. Information about this gravity model has never been formally published and no recent developments have taken place as there has been no funding available. Because we feel that this technique has significant utility and applications beyond New Mexico, we have made the following background information (posters and presentations) available to help other researchers. Please DO NOT contact the New Mexico Health Policy Commission about this technique. All inquiries for information should be addressed to the DGR at UNM.

The following poster was presented at the ESRI Southwest User Group Conference (SWUG) held in Taos, New Mexico October 2002. This poster won the poster contest for analytical content.

• Primary Care Physicians Gravity Model Poster (11 x 17 version)

• Primary Care Physicians Gravity Model Poster (34x44 version)

• Primary Care Physicians Gravity Model Report (from Quick Facts 2002)

• Gravity Model Power Point Presentation

• Primary Care Physicians Gravity Model - ArcIMS
